We want visible consistency from everyone, all the time and our 3 ‘responsibilities’ support this; we are all, always ‘Ready, Respectful and Safe’. These three words capture every action and attitude that we expect to see in our school. To be ready means to be organised, to be tidy, to be prepared for learning. To be respectful means to speak kindly, to listen attentively, to show empathy. To be safe means to play gently, to walk considerately. Every desired action and attitude is captured in these words.
In addition to this, we have our Respectful Relationships and Anti-Bullying Learning Establishment Statement Edenside Primary School as well as adhering to SBC’s ‘Respectful Relationships’ policy, a copy of which is available from the council website at respectful-relationships-and-anti-bullying-policy
Respect is a fundamental responsibility and is central to how we expect every child and adult to conduct themselves. The relationships within our school are based on mutual respect for one another. We will not tolerate any behaviour(s) that might be construed as bullying behaviours and that may well be associated with age, disability, gender (sex), race, national or ethnic origin, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. Any disrespectful or unsafe behaviours are dealt with firmly and consistently. Where necessary a behaviour support plan will be agreed with the adults working with an individual. Referral for support from the inclusion and wellbeing team may be made.
